VHS Movie Reviews of The Exorcist
Movie Review: Worst movie ever
Summary: 1 Stars
OK, I would say this is the worst movie ever, but Blade Runner, A Clockwork Orange and In The Name of the King have those titles. There is no background for the old guy in the beginning. We don't know why the demon selected this particular child. The younger priest that first meets the possessed chick doesn't even try to do it himself first before bringing in the other guy (again, no real explanation). The self sacrifice at the end is empty and really didn't have any value (they left nothing behind as far as we know). The detective is a joke, provides absolutely no value to the story. Only watch if you enjoy movies that provide absolutely no entertainment value.
Summary of The Exorcist
Director William Friedkin was a hot ticket in Hollywood after the success of The French Connection, and he turned heads (in more ways than one) when he decided to make The Exorcist as his follow-up film. Adapted by William Peter Blatty from his controversial bestseller, this shocking 1973 thriller set an intense and often-copied milestone for screen terror with its unflinching depiction of a young girl (Linda Blair) who is possessed by an evil spirit. Jason Miller and Max von Sydow are perfectly cast as the priests who risk their sanity and their lives to administer the rites of demonic exorcism, and Ellen Burstyn plays Blair's mother, who can only stand by in horror as her daughter's body is wracked by satanic disfiguration. One of the most frightening films ever made with a soundtrack that's guaranteed to curl your blood, The Exorcist was mysteriously plagued by troubles during production, and the years have not diminished its capacity to disturb even the most stoical viewers. Don't say you weren't warned! --Jeff ShannonHorror VHS Video
